Ready for 4-H Camp
Come join the fun at 4-H
camp this summer. Camps will be conducted at the Buford Ellington 4-H Center in
Milan, Tennessee. The Center near, Milan, Tennessee is a modern camp facility.
The center joins the Milan Experiment Station, home of the West Tennessee
Agricultural Museum.
In the air-conditioned, 400 – seat dining hall, food is served
cafeteria style from a modern, state-of-the-art kitchen. Campers may return for
seconds.
The home-style cottages
provide a restful atmosphere with bath facilities in each cabin. Accomodations
for campers with disabilities are available.
Campers enjoy an
enormous, sparkling clean pool, rifle range, archery range and large recreation
pavilion. Ball fields, basketball courts and a tennis court are located on a
beautiful lawn. Other facilities include a wildlife center, t-shirt shop, air
brush center, craft center and a pond where they can fish, canoe or enjoy a
paddle boat ride.
Campers can also
participate in an early morning cookout at the pond or go “creek-stomping” on
the daily wildlife hikes. An outdoor amphitheater is the backdrop for campfire
and vespers.
Computers are available
in the learning center and campers may purchase snacks at the well-stocked
canteen. Items include soft drinks, ice cream, chips and a variety of candy.
